TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN T. KIMBEIn-of Vernon, in the county of Jennings, and State of State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Improved Sucker and Force-Pump; and I do hereby declare that the followingr is a clear and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making apart of this specification, in whieh- Figure 1 is a perspective view- A. representing the main stalk or pipe; N, spout or ourlet for the water; B, cylinder, made with a partition in centre, so as to form a double cylinder; C, side section ofthe stalk, through which the upper end of cylinder B is supplied with water; D D, packing and valves between the cylinder Band stalks A and C; E E, bands or clamps, holding -A,`B, and C together; F, clevis or shackle, to which the plungers II H are attached, as seen in iig. 1; G, rod connecting clevis F to handle J; I-I, suckers, attached to plnngers HH by a rod or bolt running through their centres and through plungers H H, and fastened with a nut at top and bottom of clevis F; K K, water-channels in stalk C and A; L L L L, valves working between'or in cyiinder and stalks A and C; M, Water-channel in main stalk, leading to" top of the well, through which the water is forced.

On the downward movement of the rod G the lower sucker I draws its supply of water through the valve L, between cylinder B and stalk A', through channel K. At same time theupper plunger, H, is forcing water through the valve L into water-channel M in main stalk A,\at same time closing the valve L on water-channel K in stalk C. 'On the upward movement of rod G-the lower plunger, H, forces the water out of lower end of cylindex' B, through centre valve L, into water-channel M in main stalk A,'at sume time closing the lower valve L on water-channel K in lower end of stalk A. At the same time the upper sucker, I, attached to plunger II,V

takes its supply from stalk C, through valve L on channel K.

I claim the combination and arrangement of the two solid pistons, H H, and the cylinders in which they work, with the ways and valves L L, and supplying and discharge pipes, all substantially as described.

JOHN -'I. KIMBEL.
